It is sad that Obama, Clinton and Kerry have so messed up the Middle East with their “Arab Spring” that Vladimir Putin becomes the hero who brings order out of the chaos.
Putin, allies with Assad. His relations with Iran are improving. (Hey, you don’t see masses of people in the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to Putin! Death to Russia!”) Russia sees Syria as a strategic location. They have moved military to the Syrian border. Putin believes Obama’s fingers in the Middle East have left a vacuum that ISIS is filling. Putin is closely aligned with how many American conservatives view Obama’s bungling of it. More bungling on the next page.
From Putin’s UN speech:
Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”
A report at Jihad Watch answers:
No, they don’t realize what they have done, and they’re poised to do more of it. And those of us who warned at the time that the “Arab Spring” would not lead to “the triumph of democracy and progress,” but to “violence, poverty and social disaster,” were dismissed and derided as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” And no matter how often the establishment analysts get things wrong, and disastrously, and fatally so, they never get called to account, and keep applying the same failed solutions.

Bravo! Well said.
Two choices: Either the Obama regime, who encouraged what they named the “Arab Spring” knew exactly the fallout, and wanted to destabilize the Middle East. Or the Obama regime is delusional and really thought having “JV Team”, ISIS, fill the vacuum. That’s a good thing.
Whatever you think of Putin, he is right about Obama. No easy answers, but with pro-Arab apologists like Samantha Powers as Ambassador to the UN, a real confidante, who has the ear of the President, and was one of the architects of the Arab Spring, you can bet what happens next will be more of the same.
Perhaps after Putin is through eliminating ISIS over there, we can invite him here to take on the tens of thousands of Syrian Islamists that Obama is inviting in.
Besides screwing all the American people?
It has nothing to do with disagreeing with his policy. You can disagree all day, it’s how or why you are disagreeing. For instance, on this specific thread, the same people who called Obama a communist and used it as a reason for him to vote against him, are praising a communist for imposing his will.
This shows they never hated or even knew what communism was, they just used it as a mask for why they dislike Obama and it’s obviously because he is black. Claiming the racism isn’t real only aides in it stayin around.
So just because someone agrees with one thing a Communist does, then he must be pro Communism? Obama’s color is not an issue for me, his disasters are.. Who in their right mind gives Iran that kind of money, gives them nukes 101 basically, gives the ample time to clean it up and hide it, AND lift’s sanctions? Insane at every level!, Oh, Iran STILL screwed up after all that.. SMDH
Shock – the major TV networks missed it? Nope – they won’t show it.
I listened to the entire speech, and I never heard the interpreter say what was listed in the headline…
I find it comical that the conservatives blame Obama for the middle east. Conservatives want low taxes, but will pay 1 billion $$ a day to wage a war in Iraq where we have no horse in the race to suit a Bush family grudge. Putin wants a legacy and conservatives, with their chests out, are willing to give it to him….most conservatives won’t even know what this post means.
Randy Wagner You are an idiot
Almost makes me wish Putin could run for President here.
I think you need to check the record. It started with the last Bush. However, no is saying that.
Ever wonder why we don’t see this stuff on our news?
Yes, obama knows what he is doing.
